The program has been very successful supporting student preparation for graduate school
and careers in healthcare. We are proud to note that 100% of program alumni are accepted
into their top 3 graduate school degree programs within three years of completing
our program. Over 90% of program alumni continue on to choose careers in healthcare.

and lectures outside of the regular workday.

your professors to proctor the exam in Ann Arbor so that you do not miss any of the
program components.
